Immigrate to Portugal, stroll through historic medieval European castles, linger in villages where time stands still, take in the infinite scenery along the 850-kilometer Atlantic coastline, clink glasses over fresh seafood and fine wines, and bathe in 3,000 hours of brilliant sunshine throughout the year... Portugal is a perfect travel destination all year round. Whether you are visiting Portugal for tourism or settling down through immigration, the slow and comfortable pace of Portugal will make you feel as if you are "wasting" time, allowing you to forget the hustle and bustle of the city.
Portugal boasts the oldest borders in Europe, highly diverse landscapes, numerous leisure activities, and unique cultural heritage sites, where tradition and modernity achieve a harmonious unity. The capital, Lisbon, and its northern counterpart, Porto, are shining pearls in the European urban landscape. These two cities are best explored on foot—with breezes blowing along the riverbanks, trams clattering by, and romantic, nostalgic streets and alleys hiding boutiques, old record stores, and stylish leisure bars, as well as various restaurants, Fado clubs, and open-air cafes. Nourished by Moorish songs and the ballads of homesick sailors, Fado, the Portuguese folk music, carries a sorrowful, sweet, and bitter tone; nothing embodies the soul of Lisbon better than Fado.
Porto is a mountain city located at the mouth of the Douro River, where various styles blend to create a unique charm—narrow medieval alleys, luxurious Baroque churches, and neat, simple small squares all merge in the reflection of the Douro River.
Outside the cities, former hilltop fortresses have been renovated—you can spend the night there, facing ancient vineyards, hike through granite peaks, or visit small villages in the interior with rich historical textures that are rarely visited by tourists. The coastline of over 800 kilometers is an even greater temptation for outdoor enthusiasts. You can gaze at spectacular cliffs that look like the "end of the world," go surfing on beaches filled with sand dunes, or lazily pass the time on islands with beaches, facing the blue and tranquil sea.
